			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Embedded Excel functions is certainly a great feature, but it often makes formulas really long and hard to read.</p>
<p>You can easily make your formulas more legible by simply pressing <strong>ALT-ENTER</strong> while editing it to force a line feed. See for yourself the result of doing so.

<p>Note that you need to put the line feed (ALT-ENTER) <strong>after</strong> the comma or else Excel won&#8217;t accept it, the notable exception being when the comma is in a text string, as in the next picture.</p>
